Minute Meditations

Sit down and, keeping your back straight but free, begin quieting your mind and your body by taking a few relaxing, deep breaths. Close your eyes if you wish. Center your awareness on the silent and infinite presence of God within ...

St. Francis of Assisi once said, “Create within yourself a place where God might dwell.”

If we are made in God’s spirit, then our first “church” were the bodies given to us.

Will you choose to live with less so you can love more? Will you trust that joy is not something to chase but something to welcome in the present moment? 

Throughout this messy, sweet, chaotic, precious time we have together, we’ll tell each other the best thing, the only thing that really matters: “I love you.”

Each path Francis took on his journey to God led him to a single action: praise of God.
